Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions?

Guys I have noticed that certain members start with technical back and forth in discussions which look like they are self serving, to prove how smart or knowledgable they are, rather then forwarding the OP's original question.

Shouldn’t these discussions be moved into a separate post about technical stuff ie the techical merits of bibolar vs mosfets for example, if these members want to do that?

I think most member don’t care if a Krell amp uses brand x or y for transistors vs a Pass or any other amp, I think most people are more concerned with what the sonic differences there are vs specific technical arguments that are not related to the sonic flavor or design methodologies that these product use to produce their sound, what do you guys think?

Ohm's Law is not like a speed limit law that can be broken. It is inviolate.

Put simply, anything to do with electricity is following Ohm's Law. All the gain in transistors, all the gain in tubes, all of it follows Ohm's Law.

Ohm's Law is also quite simple. One Ohm is equal to one Volt divided by one Amp. That's it- 4th grade algebra. It is the basis of all things electric and electronic.

Gee, and all I'm trying to do is learn about the science behind the Synergistic blue fuse which uses Quantum Inductive Coupling. Can anyone explain that to me in a non-technical manner?
Yes. Anytime you see the word 'quantum' associated with an audio product, it is an indication that you should turn around and run! as hard as you can until you are a very long distance away. Of course, you won't get away from the quantum, but you might be a bit further away from where you saw the word. And maybe also the audio product in which it is supposed to reside.
